Parish records
The County Record Office has a bound transcript of the Parish Register.
This was transcribed by David Jordan, Margaret Marrs and members of
the Cambridgeshire Family History Society. The introduction explains that
the Register starts in 1671, but there must have been an earlier volume
from 1563. The entries are based in part on the Bishop's Transcripts held
at Cambridge University Library. The Register transciption includes
baptisms 1563-2003, marriages 1599-2003, banns 1754-1953, burials
1600-2003 and a surname index.
In 1987, the Cambridgeshire Family History Society carried out a project
to transcribe the Monumental Inscriptions at the Parish Church,
including the interior of the church (1577-1976) and the old churchyard
(1709-1986). The work was undertaken by Stephen Walley and Alan
Bullwinkle. A photocopy of the indexes to the cemetery at the junction of
Hauxton Road and Shelford Road was deposited in the County Archive.
The Cambridgeshire Family History Society has also published a transcript
of the Vestry Audit Book (1602-1753), with information about the
administration of the parish. This was transcribed in 2002 by David E.
Bland.
Copies of the Parish Register, Monumental Inscriptions and the Vestry
Audit Book, 1662-1753, are available from the Cambridgeshire Family
History Society. The CFHS has published one CD-Rom with
transcriptions of the registers (CD/PR/10) and another with Miscellaneous
Documents including the Vestry Audit Book (CD/012).
Censuses
The original census records are held by The National Archives. The
details from 1841 to 1911 can be searched online through services such as
Ancestry. The Local History Group has transcribed the censuses from
1841 to 1911, see the separate introduction to the Trumpington census
project.
Maps

Trumpington, dating from 1804, CRO R60/24/2/70(a) (assumed to be a
copy of the original at the Cambridge University library, MS Plans R
6/11-12). This is titled A Map of the Parish of Trumpington in the County
of Cambridge. Annotated with "All pieces without other names owned by
FCJ Pemberton": the majority of the fields were allocated to F.C.J.
Pemberton and the Vicar. See the pages on the enclosure of Trumpington.
